While subjective, I think it’s pretty obvious when the sauce is perfect. You don’t just dunk a well crafted dumpling in soy sauce

Some dim sum is eaten without any sauce...
Lots of recipes out there for a sauce for potstickers, etc... Google is your friend, you don't even have to get out of your comfy chair and put on pants.
I will say that any soy sauce-based dipping sauce benefits from using a good soy sauce. Not the crap you buy in a regular grocery store... I'd start with one that is brewed using traditional methods. I generally use condiments that are indigenous to the cuisine I'm cooking but I do have preferences and might use a Japanese soy sauce when cooking Chinese, for example.
